The Wizards of Once – Cressida Cowell

I picked up The Wizards of Once on a colleagues recommendation and I trust her instincts completely. I started reading this book and at first, I didn’t get along with the writing style. Also, the plot was a little slow, to begin with as it was character development and world building. However, after a little while, I really started to enjoy this book.

I will admit this though that this book made me want to rewatch how to train your dragon as it is the same author who wrote those books. I found this to be a slower read than most of the children’s books I have picked up recently. Although I did enjoy it by the end of the novel. The illustrations were quirky and unique, also the spelling in this made me laugh.

When reading this I was certainly still in a magical, witchy mood and this book fueled that even further.
